Eager to see Yal Devi to Jaffna included in this list. The tracks were blown up early during the civil war, but restoration work is in progress.

Looks like our WDS-4's elder brother! This contraption hauled the train for how long and at what speed?

Is this Broad Gauge? 2x2 looks very comfortable! Are the ticket rates for this class comparable to our JanShatabdi 2S fares?

SLR TTEs
Distances being short in SL, the same crew must be doing the Up and Down services, and still not exceeding the time limits proscribed.

Waiting eagerly to see the Yal Devi to Jaffna included in this list. This is one of the famous named trains of Sri Lanka, which was bombed by the LTTE some years back, cutting off all rail links to the north. Restoration of the track is in progress.
